Tony Pulis’ side failed to hold on to their lead until the break, however, as Kevin Mirallas equalised two minutes into first half stoppage time following a neat build-up involving Barry and Ross Barkley.

And it was Barry who sealed the points on the hour mark as he nodded home from a corner.

FACTS, STATS, GOALS & LOLS

WEST BROM are still desperate to sign people. Tony Pulis named an unchanged side from the one that won at Palace. Right now the biggest worry though is to keep what he has. Arsenal want Evans, and Berahino is running his contract down.

BAGGIES new Chinese owner Guochuan Lai was here to watch Tony Pulis’ side. And he was applauding within minutes as McAuley put them in front.

BUT two weeks after Lai’s takeover was confirmed they’ve yet to sign anybody.

LAST week Everton troubled Tottenham playing three at the back.Koeman stuck by it but Pulis was prepared.

JAGIELKA lost McAugley and Mirallas failed to stop him nodding Craig Gardner’s flag-kick home after barely 9 minutes.

'WE are top of the League' sang the Baggies faithful. After nine minutes. Seriously?

KOEMAN switched from 3-4-2-1 to 4-2-3-1 to match Pulis after just 38 minutes bringing on Romelu Lukaku. It changed the game.

IF Everton are holding out for £75m for Lukaku it’s because he’s worth it. As soon s he came on Everton had something up front they didn’t before. They were level before the break as Miralas started and finished a wonderful combination with Barry and Barkely.

MAARTEN Stekelenburg made crucial saves to deny Rondon in the first half and Fletcher in the second showing he will fight for his place if Joe Hart does come in from City.

EVERTON'S new £30m signing made a second half debut for Koeman and nearly had an assist as he put in a beautiful cross and Barkley should have clinched it but headed wide from seven yards.
